Final Stage (Gold medal game), 1982 FIBA World Cup
August 28, 1982 · Coliseo El Pueblo, Cali, Colombia
Final Stage (Gold medal game), 1982 FIBA World Cup: Soviet Union 95–94 USA, at Coliseo El Pueblo, Cali, Colombia on August 28, 1982.
The Second Round round-robin left the Soviet Union and the United States tied atop the table at 5-1. Rather than settle the tie on paper, the tournament played a fresh gold-medal game between the two — a tighter, different result (95-94) from their 99-93 Second Round meeting, which the Americans had actually won. The Soviet Union's third World Championship title.
